Description

The North-South global divide is often perceived as a stark economic reality, but it is also deeply rooted in perceptions and prejudices. Latin America's national legal systems are frequently misrepresented, with a European image that emphasizes legal legitimacy and international cooperation. In contrast, diagnoses of excessive formalism, a gap between law and action, and the influence of European transplants on Latin American law highlight the need for reform. This study explores the materialization of these ideas in global governance, particularly in the context of Latin American states in legal geopolitics, and their deployment in transnational litigation and international arbitration.
